agreement was signed is the start of world war two although on september the thirtieth leaders of european countries troop to be able to sign a peace memorandum. under the terms of the agreement signed by hitler. chamberlain and. the czechs with sleeves a citizen and within nine days to go for off the agreement said that the territory would be occupied by german troops are moving to the tenth when german troops into czechoslovakia plain old earl becks the director of the archive. sued us from germany was just over a year old place or his mother often told him that the suggestion germans hailed this days as an occasion for celebration the arrival of german troops was seen as the longer awaited accession to the third reich he told me. they were delighted because of the troops but. because

germans that was old rich. eighteen. the small town of home it off situated a hundred kilometers away from prague was populated by the germans only seventy years ago after the war the germans were recessed told by force almost no one came back only street people attended meetings at a local branch of the suggests india. had few kournikova a german woman by birth has lived all her life in czechoslovakia during the war years she and her family found themselves in the crossfire literally. spent her childhood in the czech kindergarten and the chicks school. when the nazis came to power she had to pay the price for her friendship with czechs she and her family were thought to be suspect in the wall the chicks to change their attitude

to the suggestion german. german soldiers once sent hedrick who is a little girl at the time along with her younger brother to a chick canteen to get some food but they never got it their former classmates pelted them with stones that get. into a line my brother came to the school. our classmates pelted with with stones. and drove us away from the school building it and. crying heil hitler. but our fear. after the earth the su dissonant was returned to czechoslovakia the czech president. returned from london after. his first degree deported from the country deprives them of their citizenship and confiscated their property. and was accompanied by the so called death marches

tens of thousands of students and germans died in a matter of months. back the director of the archive for these students and returned to his homeland sixty years later he returned as a tourist. finds nothing but. to be all incivility lost destroyed and if you go over say there you will find some traces stones from houses not trees after trees and this is the only thing you can recognise here was once we each there of nearly solace and inhabitants that means i think. three hundred houses. they all have gone only one year.

we know this is the region where the germans lived. in prague anything he can do for the time being conjure up memories of lost territories the germans would be too happy to return but no one here expects them to. know there is a difference between an italian coming here to sell pizzas. and a german whose parents lived here works german who was born here. we feel germans must have some special conditions for their return here. or special conditions for our return or assurance to the czech republic exist nor can they exist in a legal context in the present european legal system. only thing that could be discussed similarities in mentality. here the love this land

and the no check lifestyle but this does not imply any special rights or concessions. for the czech foreign ministry the thirty five year old has a feel easten to see himself as someone who. he is a citizen german. with one family line although it is true that he is a chick in accordance with another his grandfathers were on different sides of the barricades which in no way undermines his firm pro czech position. the debate on how the munich agreement affected the course of european history in the twentieth century has shown no signs of abating as yet as a theoretical conference dedicated to that event in moscow both the. historian from the czech republic and. historian from germany had the opportunity to present their

views on the subject. law of the change their views but they did agree on the lessons that can be drawn from events that took place years ago in the situation in nineteen thirty eight showed that if the structure of collective security is undermined then tom it was in the league of nations and national leaders are guided only by national interests gives rise to dangerous situation. if that's kind of a historian is going to publish declassified documents compiled by intelligence agents so that they can become available not only to specialists but also to anyone he was interested in world history in fact anyone who feels there's a lesson can be drawn from any historical situation. with the main lesson to be drawn from prison to very simple formula instead of encouraging an

aggressor you must be countered by ensuring there for its efforts to establish a system of collective security in nineteen three fields but the problem has a good deal of relevance to the. political ambitions of the powers that be. and the attempts to decide everything with the stroke of the pen or through violent acts only result in human casualties transit is interested lives. if this affects ordinary people in the first place. on a tissue and seemed to find it difficult to take to heart these apparently obvious conclusions in the twenty first century is wild.

moscow is reportedly planning to stay on the political scene after the russian president said he had lost trust in him. to europe's massive strikes in motion tens of thousands throughout the continent. government's austerity measures. parliamentary poll violent clashes wreak havoc in the central asian republics we look at one politicians chances to bring the country back from the brink. airflow it is to start it's own budget carrier that could increase revenues by two thousand and twenty five that and more business program at twenty past the hour.
